Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg was born in Poland. His family moved to New York, America when he was nine years old. He first attended public school, but afterwards left to attend the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School (RJJ) until the age of fourteen. He then studied in the Bais Medrash LeRabbonim, headed by Rabbi Rabbi Yehuda Heschel Levenberg (1884-1938) (which was located at the time in New Haven, Connecticut). When he was seventeen Rabbi Scheinberg attented Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. There he learned under Rabbi Shlomo Polachek (1877-1928), known as the "Meitcheter Illui", Rabbi Moshe Soloveichik (1879-1941), and Rabbi Shimon Shkop (1860-1940), the author of Sharei Yosher (who lived in New York only briefly).

Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg married the daughter of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Herman (whose biography is memorialized in a book "All For the Boss" authored by Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg's daughter Ruchoma Shain). The newlyweds embarked for the Mir Yeshiva in what was then Poland (now Belarus), where he studied for five years. The great Yeshivohs of eastern Europe had only a small handful of American students who were prepared to leave the relative comforts of America to brave the harsh conditions of Poland in order to study under the great European Roshei Yeshivohs.

Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg received semicha from Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz of Kaminetz. Upon his return to the USA, Rabbi Scheinberg became a faculty member of his alma mater, the New Haven Yeshiva. The Yeshiva closed in 1938 and Rabbi Scheinberg became the Mashgiach at the Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim founded by Rabbi Dovid Leibowitz.

In the 1960s, Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg relocated from the United States to Israel, where he has lived since. He is very popular in many English speaking circles due to his fluency in English and his familiarity with the issues faced by American Orthodox teenagers studying in Israel.
